Easy to install, this switch allows you to quickly restore your microwaveGÇÖs performance without the need for professional assistance. Choosing this genuine OEM part guarantees compatibility and peace of mind, as it meets SamsungGÇÖs exacting standards for quality and reliability. Whether youGÇÖre replacing a faulty switch or performing routine maintenance, the Microwave Door Switch provides a dependable solution to keep your microwave operating smoothly and safely.

This door interlock microswitch detects when the microwave door is fully closed and allows the unit to run only under safe conditions. Replacing a worn switch restores reliable starting and consistent operation tied to the door latch.

• Monitors the door-latch position and completes the safety interlock circuit when the door is closed
• Helps prevent operation with the door open
• Common symptoms: microwave won't start or stops when the door is moved; requires pushing/jiggling the door to run
• Contributes to "runs but no heat" or light/fan behavior that changes as the door is opened/closed

• Unplug the microwave before service; internal high-voltage components can retain a dangerous charge
• Access the switch at the door-latch assembly; transfer wires one at a time to the new switch to maintain correct positions
• Ensure the actuator aligns with the door latch and that the switch clicks freely when opening/closing the door
• After reassembly, test with a microwave-safe cup of water to ensure proper operation

This baseless light bulb restores the washer drum light so you can clearly see inside during loading and unloading. Replace a failed lamp to regain visibility and help prevent small items from being missed. What it does:

• Illuminates the washer drum when the light feature is activated
• Replaces a burned-out or damaged baseless lamp in the drum light assembly
• Common symptoms: light won't turn on, flickers intermittently, or the bulb appears darkened/broken
• Helps you check for remaining items after a cycle

• Includes 1 baseless light bulb

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Allow the old bulb to cool completely before handling
• Access the drum light housing; pull the old bulb's leads straight out and insert the new bulb's leads fully into the socket
• Avoid touching the glass; handle the new bulb with clean gloves or tissue, then restore power and test

This high-voltage magnetron capacitor stores and delivers the pulse of energy the microwave magnetron needs to generate heat. Replacing a failed unit restores proper high-voltage function so the oven can heat reliably. What it does:

• Stores and releases high-voltage energy to the magnetron during cooking cycles.
• Works with the oven's diode and transformer to produce microwave energy.
• A failed capacitor can cause no heat, weak heating, or a blown fuse/circuit interruption.
• Designed for the microwave high-voltage assembly; handle as a high-voltage component.

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before service.
• Discharge the capacitor with an insulated tool before touching terminals.
• Verify this part number matches your appliance before ordering.

This electronic main control board assembly manages the oven's timed functions and user commands so the appliance runs cycles correctly and responds to panel inputs. It replaces a failed control module to restore normal operation. What it does

• Receives and processes inputs from the front control panel and sensors to run selected cycles
• Controls timing, cycle selection, and various operational relays on the appliance
• Common symptoms: appliance won't start, unresponsive controls, incorrect or no cycles, or intermittent operation
• May resolve display errors or fault codes caused by a failed control board

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting service to avoid electric shock
• Handle the board carefully; avoid static discharge and contact with printed circuits
• Verify screw locations, connector seating, and grounding during reassembly

The Fuse is an OEM part for Whirlpool microwaves. It is a crucial safety component designed to protect the microwave from electrical surges and potential short circuits by breaking the circuit if the current flow exceeds safe levels.

Causes of a bad microwave fuse can include electrical surges, faulty wiring, or normal wear and tear over time. A blown fuse will render the microwave inoperable, as it cuts off the power supply to prevent further damage or hazards.

Symptoms of a bad microwave fuse include:

• The microwave not powering on
• The microwave stopping mid-operation
• No response from the control panel or keypad
• Sudden loss of power during use

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Diode is an OEM part for Whirlpool microwaves. It plays a crucial role in the microwave's operation by allowing electrical current to flow in one direction, essential for converting AC power to DC power, which is necessary for the microwave's components to function correctly.

Over time, the diode can fail due to electrical surges, general wear and tear, or exposure to high heat. A bad diode can disrupt the microwave's ability to heat food properly, leading to inefficient performance or complete appliance failure.

Symptoms of a bad diode include:

• Microwave not heating
• Sparking or unusual noises during operation
• Burning smell from the microwave
•  Microwave shutting down shortly after starting

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
